let me take this opportunity to propose a new word

“regrission” where a usually gritty player with a low BABIP, like Murphy, regresses back to the mean in really clutch spots. see: last night’s double.

Awesome!

There needs to be a list of who has grission and who doesn’t.

Really, Jerry?

is the one you were looking for

grission is definitely a trade secret

Dykstra and Pete Rose were the heads of some MLM-type empire, but Darin Erstad couldn’t keep his damn mouth shut and they were ruined.

One of the easiest recs I've ever given

That pic of Voltron is just perfect.

And I think we are approaching the "jumping the shark" point with this word

What’s up with the Voltron picture? Was it the same photographer that took A-Rod kissing himself in the mirror?

Oh c'mon

Its hilariously perfect.

I think it would be more fitting

for Eckstein to be hustling

Trying to believe is my full-time occupation.

not sure if anyone else noticed

but the best part of the beltran image is the fact that they photoshopped his mole off. too good.

Mole?

What mole? ;)

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.
